If you?re trying to shed weight, there is a groundbreaking, magic elixir that might help you achieve that goal: water. Guzzling agua prior to a meal might help with weight loss, according to a study of, well, prior studies. Research conducted at the Berlin School of Public Health, Charit? University Medical Center Berlin, revealed that adults who gulped two cups of water before eating lost roughly four pounds more than those who didn?t. Why? While studies aren?t conclusive, water may make you feel full, and thus eat less. Another theory is something called water-induced thermogenesis, which involves the liquid increasing energy expenditure. The upshot? While there are no guarantees, drinking water is a good thing.
